Designed especially for women who are unable to attend regular college due to personal, social, or financial constraints, NCWEB provides a flexible and affordable path to higher education through weekend classes and merit-based admission.
NCWEB offers two undergraduate programmes -- BA (Programme) and B.Com -- and is open exclusively to women residing in Delhi. Admissions are based on Class 12 marks, not CUET, and registration is open for three weeks.
"Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board truly embodies the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao initiative of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi," NCWEB Director Professor Geeta Bhatt told PTI.
"This institution of DU is a ray of hope for girls who are unable to attend regular college due to financial or social challenges. It gives them a chance to continue their education and contribute meaningfully to society," Bhatt added.
NCWEB provides weekend classesn -- held on Saturdays or Sundays -- at various DU colleges, making it easier for women to balance education with household responsibilities, jobs, or caregiving duties. The board also provides access to the university's vast e-library and the libraries of host colleges.
Financial aid and book loan facilities are available for deserving students.
"This is a unique model that allows us to use the existing infrastructure of DU to educate thousands of women at minimal cost," Professor Bhatt said.

Established in 1944 with just three students, NCWEB has now grown to over 31,000 enrolled learners. The initiative is not just about academics -- it's about offering women the dignity of choice, the power of independence, and the tools to shape a better future.
Those interested can apply through the official DU admission portal at https://ncwebadmission.uod.ac.in/, and the first merit list will be released after the registration window closes.

Rupee rises 31 paise to close at 85.31 against U.S. dollar
The rupee pared initial losses and jumped 31 paise to close at 85.31 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on Thursday (July 3, 2025), following a weak greenback against major crosses overseas and a decline in U.S. treasury yields. Forex traders said the dollar declined on weaker-than-expected ADP Non-Farm Employment data from the U.S. A decline in global crude oil prices also supported the local unit, they added. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 85.69 against the American currency and touched an intra-day high of 85.19 and a low of 85.70 during the session. The local unit finally settled at 85.31 (provisional), 31 paise higher than its previous closing price. On Wednesday, the rupee depreciated 3 paise to close at 85.62 against the U.S. dollar. "The Indian rupee rose sharply on Friday on a weak U.S. Dollar and a decline in U.S. treasury yields. A decline in crude oil prices also favoured the rupee. However, weak domestic markets capped sharp gains," said Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.05% to 96.82. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell by 1.01% to $68.41 per barrel in futures trade. "We expect the rupee to strengthen on a weak U.S. Dollar and rise in risk appetite in global markets. Overall, a weak tone in crude oil may also support the domestic currency. However, uncertainty over trade tariffs may cap sharp gains," Mr. Choudhary said. Going ahead, traders may take cues from the Non-Farm payrolls report from the U.S.. "USD/INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of 84.90 to 85.60," Mr. Choudhary said. Meanwhile, in the domestic equity market, the Sensex declined 170.22 points or 0.20% to 83,239.47, while Nifty fell 48.10 points or 0.19% to 25,405.30. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹1,561.62 crore on a net basis on Wednesday, according to exchange data.
